it would be wrong for the Catholic people to take anything a pope says as wisdom or truthful or correct...the Pope has infaliability only in certain matters...otherwise, he's just a talker like anyone else, I'm afraid...

respect is earned, not just bequeathed on some one because of their position.

While you do that will you also determine the sanity of our congress critters and other political leaders?

They too are trying to tell us that Islam is a ROP.

“While he was rebuking those who equate Islam with violence and fostering cooperation with ‘moderate’ Islam” (from aricle)

That is like a chicken in the slaughter house saying to the chickens next to him,

“I have a plan: maybe if we just tell everyone that to equate the butcher with killing chickens then the butcher will see how nice we really are and feeling bad about his acts will just let us go! Besides, I’ve never ever seen the janitor or the truck driver or anyone else in this here facility (slughter house) actually killing chickens!”

Great Britains monarchies installed their sock puppets in th Middle East, under the guise of The League of Nations prior to UN.

Anglo Persian War

British Petroleum

We really shouldn’t be judgemental of the Middle East because we have our own sock puppet right now.

“There is a saying, God writes straight with crooked lines.”

I don’t see that saying applicable here. In this case I observe that Satan writes crooked with crooked lines.

You’ve got to read this excellent piece by John Vennari comparing “Pope Francis” to Saint Francis of Assisi. (Just posted today after subject piece.)

You will see what a heretic and anti- Saint Francise person the man actually is. God help us. God forgive us for what we have done to have such a calamity proclaming himself as pope while acting like a wrecking ball of the one true Catholic faith.

Actually he is right! We only need to watch the news to see how peaceful Islam really is.

Absolutely, and the Catholic Church “Pope’ at that period in history was involved in the creation of The Knights of Templar...and the Church tried to destroy what it created, yet many ended up in Switzerland, France, and Scotland.

Pope says equating Islam with violence is wrong

Several historic Popes disagreed to the ultimate.

Not being a topic of faith or morals he can safely be wrong with total impunity or criticism.
He is just a man.

Good grief.

Beheading is Against Islam, That’s Why Mohammed Owned a Sword Named “Cleaver of Vertebrae”

Posted By Daniel Greenfield On September 30, 2014

Islam really is the religion of the sword. Mohammed had a huge sword collection, a lot of them stolen from other people, and he gave a name to each of his swords because he was kind of a psycho.

One of his favorite swords was Dhu al-Faqar or “Cleaver of Vertebrae”. When you see this kind of sword on a Jihadist flag, that’s ole Faqar. Muslim legend says that the sword was given to Mohammed by an angel. Actually he looted it in battle or his followers did.

“Dhu al-Faqar is the name of this sword, taken as Booty by the prophet Muhammad at the Battle of Badr. It is reported that the prophet Muhammad gave the sword to Ali b. Abi Talib, and that Ali returned from the Battle of Uhud covered with blood from his hands to his shoulders, having Dhu al-Faqar with him. “

Can anyone name Moses or Jesus’ favorite swords? Mohammed though had a huge sword collection, a lot of them stolen from other people, because he was kind of a psycho.
How much did Mohammed like his swords? He named them. And he liked them more than his wives or just about anything else.

“The al-Rasub sword is one of the nine swords of the prophet Muhammad. It is said that the weapons of the house of the prophet Muhammad were kept among his family just like the Ark was kept with the Israelites.”

Except the Ark contained the word of G-d, while the sword was something that Mohammed used to murder non-Muslims. There is no better contrast between religions.

One of his favorite swords was Dhu al-Faqar or “Cleaver of Vertebrae”. When you see this kind of sword on a Jihadist flag, that’s ole Faqar. Muslim legend says that the sword was given to Mohammed by an angel. Actually he looted it in battle or his followers did.

“Dhu al-Faqar is the name of this sword, taken as Booty by the prophet Muhammad at the Battle of Badr. It is reported that the prophet Muhammad gave the sword to Ali b. Abi Talib, and that Ali returned from the Battle of Uhud covered with blood from his hands to his shoulders, having Dhu al-Faqar with him. “

Cheerful story. Nothing to do with Islam of course, except for it involving its prophet and his campaign to convert everyone to Islam by the sword… of which he had a whole bunch.

The sword got passed down to various Muslim Caliphs and rulers until one of them tried to kill a dog with it and it broke. It might have been the obvious design flaw.
So much for the magic sword.

But let’s not be judgmental. It turns out that Mohammed also had the sword of a whole bunch of people.

“The al-Battar sword was taken by the prophet Muhammad as booty from the Banu Qaynaqa. It is called the “sword of the prophets” and is inscribed in Arabic with the names of David, Solomon, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, Zechariah, John, Jesus, and Muhammad. It also has a drawing of King David when cut off the head of Goliath to whom this sword had belonged originally. . . .”

The Banu Qaynaqa were among the Jews massacred by Mohammed and his murderous thugs. In the twisted mindset of Islam having a sword with a bunch of names of religious figures on it means that you succeed them.

Islam really is the religion of the sword.

Pope Francis Now Set on Closing Gitmo Prison Camp
thegatewaypundit.com ^ | 12-17-2014 | Jim Hoft

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3238494/posts

On Wednesday Barack Obama thanked Pope Francis for playing a key role finalizing a deal between the US and Cuba.

World Net Daily reported:

Having helped broker the agreement to normalize relations between the United States and communist Cuba, Pope Francis plans next to turn his attention to closing the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, a goal he shares with President Obama.

In a meeting last week at the Vatican with Secretary of State John Kerry, the Vatican secretary of state, Pietro Parolin, second in authority to the pope, offered to assist U.S. efforts to close the facility for terrorism suspects.

Commentary

It is absolutely preposterous. Pope Francis have done nothing to pursue the freedom of thousands of Cuban political prisoners languishing in Castro’s dungeons, but he is pressuring U.S. to free all the murderous Islamic terrorists imprisoned in Gitmo, a jail with accommodations that rival many 4 starts resorts.

I wonder if Francis is going to offer refuge to the Islamic peace loving terrorists in the Vatican.

After 23 years suffering torture and humiliations in Castro’s political dungeons, Cuban writer and poet, Armando Valladares recalled: “During those years, with the purpose of forcing us to abandon our religious beliefs and to demoralize us, the Cuban Communist indoctrinators repeatedly used the statements made by some representatives of the American Christian churches. Every time a pamphlet was published in U.S., every time a clergyman would write an article in support of Castro’s dictatorship, a translation would be given to us, and that was far worse for the Christian political prisoners than the beatings or the hunger. Incomprehensible to us, while we waited for the embrace of solidarity from our brothers in Christ, those who were embraced were our tormentors.”

After more than 50 years of violations of their human rights, is inconceivable that once again the Cuban people is betrayed by those most called to defend and demand their right to freedom and the respect for their human dignity. Pope Francis negotiated and blessed a Faustian accord in which an apprentice of tyrant came to the rescue of the regimen of a genocide tyrant throwing under bus and condemning the Cuban people to eternal damnation. By this accord, the American taxpayers will keep afloat the Cuban government assuming the financing the Stalinist regime.

During the Second Vatican Council, Pope Paul VI, exasperated with the chaos prevailing, said that “it seems that the smoke from hell have entered through the windows of the Vatican.” Under Francis a five alarm fire is destroying the Vatican and the Church.
